Traditional anti-discrimination measures have failed to correct gender bias in elite sport in Canada. There are more opportunities for male athletes to be named to national teams or receive Sport Canada funding. Developing female athletes see fewer opportunities to advance to the elite level and are thus more likely than their male counterparts to drop out of sport before they achieve their potential. Elite sport plays an important role in Canadian society, so the current inequities must be addressed to bring the elite sport system in line with Canadian values. Gender equity in elite sport should be substantively defined as the existence of equal opportunities to advance. Proportionality, modeled on the US Constitutional Title IX equity requirements, is the most pragmatic way to give effect to this definition of equity. This solution requires proportional, equitably funded men’s and women’s teams for all sports that field athletes of both sexes. The solution will also require ending the current practice of comparing men and women in selection and funding decisions. Enforcement will require forum access, which can be achieved through three connected components, each of which addresses a different, necessary aspect of enforcement. The Sport Canada Dispute Resolution Centre can ensure that proportional criteria are properly implemented. The Canadian Human Rights Commission can hear challenges to selection criteria themselves. Finally, Charter litigation, based on the Section 15 equality guarantees, can address the systemic issues that arise as a result of inequitable resource allocation.
